The soflock thing isn't happening anymore in this new update, great! Was able to finish it this time around and had a blast doing so! I don't really know what was triggering it in the bossfight, just that when Sonic fell and Tails went to grab him, he would fly up normally and stop moving, just kept going up, just like the Gene Gadget one except with Tails. I'll try it again after i collect all the Chaos Emeralds.
But there was a weird glitch in Panic Puppet Act 2. I couldn't record it happening real time but i recorded what it caused.
Basically Sonic just got stuck in this tube (Even though was outside) and would not move, AT ALL. He drowned, but instead of just resseting to the last checkpoint, he grabbed the pole, released it and went offscreen. I could control him, but the camera was stuck there and i couldn't progress. Had to wait for a Time Over so i didn't had to do it all over again, but ended up losing 2 lives in the process. One for drowning, one for the time limit. Here's the video:
